• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PS4S_STATUS006 - User is not authorized to send status confirmations ?

  The SAP error message PS4S_STATUS006 indicates that a user is not authorized to send status confirmations in the Project System (PS) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of necessary authorizations in the user's role or profile. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users can only perform actions for which they have been granted permission. If a user tries to send status confirmations without the appropriate authorization, this error message will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve the PS4S_STATUS006 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the Project System, specifically for sending status confirmations.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles or modify existing roles to include the necessary authorizations.
  The relevant authorization objects for status confirmations in the Project System may include:
  
  C_PROJ (Project Management)
  C_PS (Project System)
  
  
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the correct permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to the SAP system.
  Attempt to send the status confirmation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the authorization requirements for their roles and provide training if necessary to prevent similar issues in the future.
